MONSTER FEST is not your normal film festival. It is
“gore~geousness and gore~gosity made flesh” – a genre love-in for drooling
cinema fiends with a fetish for the fantastic.

What started in November 2011 as the Fantastic Asia Film
Festival (FAFF) has miraculously transformed into this larger, more
imposing, more aggressive beast called MONSTER FEST. The opportunity to
open up FAFF into a monster-sized celebration of genre cinema in all its
gruesome glory was just too good an opportunity to miss.

Horror, fantasy, science-fiction, action and erotica from
every corner of the globe – premiere screenings, special guests,
master-classes, parties, events, short filmmaking competitions and much
more… MONSTER FEST proudly pits itself as the ultimate celebration of
all that is weird & wonderful in the international cult cinema
palette.

Beginning on Halloween night 2012, MONSTER FEST is a
partnership between Melbourne’s iconic Cinema Nova and Monster Pictures,
Australia’s most notorious film distributor.

Get ready, cine~maniacs... MONSTER FEST will light up the
city with thrills, spills and chills the likes of which have rarely been
seen in Melbourne cinemas ever before...
